.. currentmodule:: Base Filesystem ---------- .. function:: isblockdev(path) -> Bool Returns ``true`` if ``path`` is a block device, ``false`` otherwise. .. function:: ischardev(path) -> Bool Returns ``true`` if ``path`` is a character device, ``false`` otherwise. .. function:: isdir(path) -> Bool Returns ``true`` if ``path`` is a directory, ``false`` otherwise. .. function:: isexecutable(path) -> Bool Returns ``true`` if the current user has permission to execute ``path``, ``false`` otherwise. .. function:: isfifo(path) -> Bool Returns ``true`` if ``path`` is a FIFO, ``false`` otherwise. .. function:: isfile(path) -> Bool Returns ``true`` if ``path`` is a regular file, ``false`` otherwise. .. function:: islink(path) -> Bool Returns ``true`` if ``path`` is a symbolic link, ``false`` otherwise. .. function:: ispath(path) -> Bool Returns ``true`` if ``path`` is a valid filesystem path, ``false`` otherwise. .. function:: isreadable(path) -> Bool Returns ``true`` if the current user has permission to read ``path``, ``false`` otherwise. .. function:: issetgid(path) -> Bool Returns ``true`` if ``path`` has the setgid flag set, ``false`` otherwise. .. function:: issetuid(path) -> Bool Returns ``true`` if ``path`` has the setuid flag set, ``false`` otherwise. .. function:: issocket(path) -> Bool Returns ``true`` if ``path`` is a socket, ``false`` otherwise. .. function:: issticky(path) -> Bool Returns ``true`` if ``path`` has the sticky bit set, ``false`` otherwise. .. function:: iswritable(path) -> Bool Returns ``true`` if the current user has permission to write to ``path``, ``false`` otherwise. .. function:: homedir() -> String Return the current user's home directory. .. function:: dirname(path::String) -> String Get the directory part of a path. .. function:: basename(path::String) -> String Get the file name part of a path. .. function:: @__FILE__() -> String ``@__FILE__`` expands to a string with the absolute path and file name of the script being run. Returns ``nothing`` if run from a REPL or an empty string if evaluated by ``julia -e <expr>``. .. function:: isabspath(path::String) -> Bool Determines whether a path is absolute (begins at the root directory). .. function:: isdirpath(path::String) -> Bool Determines whether a path refers to a directory (for example, ends with a path separator). .. function:: joinpath(parts...) -> String Join path components into a full path. If some argument is an absolute path, then prior components are dropped. .. function:: abspath(path::String) -> String Convert a path to an absolute path by adding the current directory if necessary. .. function:: normpath(path::String) -> String Normalize a path, removing "." and ".." entries. .. function:: realpath(path::String) -> String Canonicalize a path by expanding symbolic links and removing "." and ".." entries. .. function:: expanduser(path::String) -> String On Unix systems, replace a tilde character at the start of a path with the current user's home directory. .. function:: splitdir(path::String) -> (String,String) Split a path into a tuple of the directory name and file name. .. function:: splitdrive(path::String) -> (String,String) On Windows, split a path into the drive letter part and the path part. On Unix systems, the first component is always the empty string. .. function:: splitext(path::String) -> (String,String) If the last component of a path contains a dot, split the path into everything before the dot and everything including and after the dot. Otherwise, return a tuple of the argument unmodified and the empty string. .. function:: tempname() Generate a unique temporary file path. .. function:: tempdir() Obtain the path of a temporary directory (possibly shared with other processes). .. function:: mktemp() Returns ``(path, io)``, where ``path`` is the path of a new temporary file and ``io`` is an open file object for this path. .. function:: mktempdir() Create a temporary directory and return its path.
